“Green Lantern” is a year away from release, but Warner Bros. already is starting development on a sequel. The studio has hired Greg Berlanti, Michael Green and Marc Guggenheim, all of whom worked on the “Lantern” screenplay, to write a treatment for the second installment.

The trio has also been tapped to pen the treatment for the silver-screen incarnation of “The Flash.”

The “Flash” film will take inspiration from [writer Geoff] Johns’ recent work and will feature the Barry Allen incarnation of the character.

Tim Robbins is joining the cast of “Green Lantern,” the Martin Campbell-directed tentpole at Warner Bros. that’s based on the DC Comics superhero. Robbins will play Senator Hammond, the disapproving father of the movie’s villain, Dr. Hector Hammond (Peter Sarsgaard), who becomes infused with psychic powers.

Warner Bros. has settled on Ryan Reynolds as its choice to play “Green Lantern,” the studio’s live-action tentpole based on the DC Comics hero. The film is being directed by Martin Campbell and produced by Donald De Line and Greg Berlanti.

[Screenwriter Marc] Guggenheim confirmed that his script will focus on Hal Jordan, based on the Silver Age DC Comics incarnation of the superhero, and how he became a member of the Green Lantern Corps.

Still no confirmation on who will play Hal Jordon or who’s in the running although Chris Pike, who had a brief but key role in the recent STAR TREK reboot, and Brian Austin Green (TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES, BEVERY HILLS: 90210) have been rumored to be in the running.

With no lead officially cast in Martin (Casino Royale) Campbell’s take on the DC Comics superhero Green Lantern, Warner Bros. has decided to push the Emerald Knight’s big screen debut back six months to June 17, 2011 from its original scheduled date of December 17, 2010. No word whether this will affect the plans to start shooting in Australia in September or whether the move is to give Campbell more time for post-production and special FX.

Casting for the lead has included Chris Pine from the upcoming STAR TREK movie and BRIAN AUSTIN GREEN (TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES, BEVERY HILLS: 90210) but nothing is confirmed yet.

Preproduction on Green Lantern is set to begin in July, and filming scheduled to start in November. Warner hopes to release the film in December 2010.

Martin Campbell, director of “Casino Royale,” will be at the helm of the comic book’s big screen adaptation, working from a script by Greg Berlanti and Michael Green. Donald Deline will produce with a reported budget of $150 million.

Warner Bros. is negotiating with Martin Campbell to direct “Green Lantern,” the live-action film based on the DC Comics hero. Campbell last directed “Casino Royale” and recently wrapped the Mel Gibson starrer “Edge of Darkness,” based on the 1985 BBC miniseries that Campbell helmed. Campbell also helmed two “Zorro” films and the 007 film “GoldenEye.”
